That's right.. mine did! I was all the way in Sandy when it happened too! I got stuck in traffic when the back passenger tire started grinding so loud. Everyone was looking at me and they had a TON of time to stare since we were all moving 5 miles an hour! I seriously thought my tire had fallen off and I was driving on the rim with sparks flying everywhere! I sounded so horrible that Clint could hear it through the phone. I was able to pull into a 7-11 and lucky for me.. the tire was still there. I was down on my hands and knees trying to figure out what the problem was! Nothing looked wrong! So I called Clint to come save me... We had a tow truck come and drop our car at the shop. Clint thinks it's the ball bearings.... or something.... :)

I remember like 5 years ago I had to have an alignment done on my car and the guy said it would need to be replaced soon... HA. Sucker.. I got 5 years out of that thing! The mechanic will call tomorrow with the damage. Ugh.

Darbi and I had some more backseat fun while we waited for everyone though! :)

There is nothing worse than having your car break down, especially when you have a little one with you. If we lived closer, I would offer my husband to look at it. He can pretty much fix anything in a car. He is a great mechanic. I hope you get it fixed soon.

And, I do agree with Aimee's statement, you do capture some of the most A.DORABLE pictures of Darbi.

Ain't that a bummer? Don't fret, though: car damage isn't something to worry about, since there are lots of means around which help mitigate ruin and financial strain. Glad you got something out of that though, heh. Looks like your little baby did. :)

"If you are a mother, you participate with God in His work of creation—not only by providing physical bodies for your children but also by teaching and nurturing them. If you are not a mother now, the creative talents you develop will prepare you for that day, in this life or the next." -- Dieter F. Uchtdorf
